Medically unexplained symptoms in children and adolescents

Eminson, D. Mary·2007·Clinical Psychology Review

Abstract

A review is presented of the range of medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) in children and adolescents, with an account of the main presentations that are recognised in clinical settings in paediatric and children's mental health services. A summary of both epidemiological and clinical studies of symptoms and their associations is given, followed by a brief overview of aetiological theories and of management interventions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
